Product
Owner

Are you leading product teams? A Product Owner determines what to do and why, balancing experiments to reduce risk with the delivery of tangible business outcomes. While agile teams might go fast, they can quickly go to the wrong place without a competent driver.

This course is based on decades of hands-on work helping our clients build high-performance organisations. It is purposefully NOT a certified course, as we believe in sharing practical expertise from the coalface, not just classroom theory.

As a business owner who hasn't had a 'line of sight' into how the work can most effectively be strategically planned out and allocated, the Product Owner course has been invaluable. I've now got a broader perspective about how to challenge how we plan, prioritise and orient around 'the work'.

For someone that is new to the product management world, understanding the fundamentals, comparing how we work these fundamentals into action and learning new approaches to working has really opened my eyes to the possibilities of always moving forward.

The session was really good and helpful. Brendan did an amazing job teaching us the topics and examples around the Product Ownership in a more realistic way. We had a good interactive session with the other attendees and Brendan managed the conversations very well. Overall, it was really great and I had a lot of learnings through it. Would recommend it to other people.
